Hey it's great to be back! Hope everyone had a great holiday vacation! ATTENTION: You might want to read from the beginning of the story as I added a few more things which I left out before. I'm adding more details for previous chapters and I would like to know which chapters you want me to re-edit. Now that everything's out of the way, let's get back to it!
The Great War begins! Unleash the full power of a Straw Hat Part two
Last time on the Story of the Dragon Pirate:
The operative looked up to see her face and was shocked "You! You're Miss All-Sunday!" he cried out. Robin's eyes narrowed as she frowned "No I'm not that person anymore…" She pointed her thumb at herself and smiled, "my name is Robin! And I'm Straw hat!" Robin said proudly. "Not that person anymore?" The operative said as they picked themselves up and brought up their weapons and aimed at Robin. "Then I guess I have no reason to hold back" the operative smirked as he aimed in his sight at Robin who stood in place. Robin smiled and crossed her arms "Likewise" Instantly human arms started to appear around each Baroque member and grabbed them neutralizing them from attacking. "Argh I can't get free!" One of the Baroque operative said trying to move but couldn't. They looked up to see a determined look from Robin and were terrified to what was going to happen next.
Robin closed her eyes and concentrated when two large legs instantly appeared from the ground terrifying the members "Stomp!" Robin said and the legs came down and slammed on the group of baroque members causing a large amount of dust to form around them. "Robin you could have taken it easy after all they had to deal with chopper before" Nami said. Robin turned her head and smiled towards her friend, "After all they did to those people at Alabasta? Not a chance" Robin said. Nami sighed and pulled out the clima-tact, Nami's signature weapon.
"I guess when you put it that way Robin…" Nami said as she raised her weather staff towards the hazed baroque operatives, Nami used the "Cool Ball" to make the air cooler while she used "Heat Ball" to suck up the moisture. Then the heated air rose up and collided with the cold air. Immediately the air condensed and created a cloud, Nami then used a "Thunder Ball" to electrify the cloud. "Show them no mercy!" Nami shouted as a powerful lightning bolt appeared and stuck at the members. Boom* an explosion erupted and every single Baroque members were sent hurling from the dining hall and flying in the air until they crashed into the ocean near the Baroque ships. Back at the dining hall everyone was cheering that they were saved from being attacked from Baroque members. Nami smiled as she viewed off into the far distance. "Never mess with a Straw hat" Nami said, "I couldn't agree more" Robin's voice was heard behind Nami as she turned around to see Robin holding a tired out Chopper. Robin cocked her head slightly and smiled and Chopper grinned and gave her a thumb up.
Back at the Front of the island...
"Haaa!" Goku shouted as he sent multiple energy blasts at Nyx who maneuvered himself to dodge the attacks, the energy blasts headed straight towards the ocean and caused explosions to erupt across the sea. Goku gritted his teeth as he stopped firing energy attacks and launched forwards at Nyx. Nyx also followed suit and headed straight at Goku. They appeared right in front of each other and raised their fists in a position to strike.
Boom*
Goku and Nyx struck and landed in a stalemate as their fists collided together and caused a whiplash of air to push the airborne fighters apart. "Wah!" Goku yelled as he spun out of control and crashed onto the island beach with a loud thud, splitting the sand into two. Nyx skidded across the ocean and crashed into the island near the Forest of Infinite Terror.
Goku slowly got up but fell down to one knee as he held his chest where Nyx struck him with his energy blade. Goku felt dizzy as he couldn't see very well, Goku had to stick his hand down into the soft sand in order to keep himself upright. Goku looked up dazed as he looked around trying to find Nyx.
Boom*
An explosion of fire glowed into the sky as Nyx emerged from the island with anger flushed from his face; he gasped heavily and turned his face towards Goku. "I will not tolerate this any longer!" Nyx shouted "Do you hear me! I will destroy you until there is nothing left!" Nyx screamed as he lashed his arm outward and an energy blade formed, Nyx dashed at the grounded Goku and grinned evilly, "This is my win!" Nyx shouted as he struck his energy blade towards Goku.
Goku grinned, he was waiting for Nyx to slip up and this was it. Goku moved his upper body to the side as the energy blade went past him and hit nothing but air. Goku crouched onto the ground and picked himself up on his side to do a roundhouse kick to Nyx's upper body. "Argh!" Nyx roared in pain, he gritted his teeth and drew back his arm to strike again.
This time Goku moved back as Nyx spun with his arm out to decapitate Goku, he charged forwards with his head and head butted Nyx in the chest, taking Nyx breath away. Goku wasn't done yet, he pushed his palm upwards into Nyx face making Nyx cover his face in pain, Nyx swung wildly as he tried to at least get Goku once but was ultimately failing. Goku raised the sole of his fighting boots and pushed outward towards Nyx, hitting him directly in the gut and pushing Nyx back a little.
Nyx gritted his teeth as he disappeared and reappeared behind Goku within the second, but Goku slammed his hands into the ground and ending it with a spin of the kicking heel striking Nyx's shoulder and knocking him off balance. Nyx landed into the sand with a loud thud as he was in pain from all the attacks Goku successfully delivered. Goku was panting as it took a lot of energy for him to do all the Capoeira techniques he had learned from his friend/master, Kuyimori.
Huff* Huff* Huff* Goku panted as he watched Nyx lying face first on the sand. Goku narrowed his eyes and sighed, "You're pretty good Nyx, I'll give you that" Goku powered down from his god form into his base form. He looked down at Nyx, "I'm giving you one last chance Nyx, I'm heading back to my friends and helping them win this war, but I don't ever want to see your face near my home (Earth) ever again!" Goku spoke.
Goku turned around and started heading towards the island where everyone else was when he heard a muffled laugh behind him. Goku turned around to see it was Nyx getting up slowly and laughing. "Heh... You still think you're going to win, have you forgotten about your injury?" Nyx pointed, Goku clenched his chest as the pain started coming back. "It'll only be a matter of time before you run out of energy and I'll claim the title as the man that defeated SON GOKU!" Nyx shouted as he raised his fist into the air and laughed maniacally.
Goku gritted his teeth, "You fool, this will be your worst decision, I've fought against stupid people but you must be the stupidest one yet..."
Goku clenched his fists and shouted into the air. "AHH!" Goku's body was engulfed in a golden flame, his hair spiked upwards and turned a shade of gold, his eyes turned teal green and his body increased in mass.
"Alright, Nyx! Let's Go!" Goku shouted as the golden flame increased in size, Nyx smirked: "What happened, I thought you were going to end it with your red hair form?" Nyx said as he raised his ki power and prepared his fighting stance. Goku smirked back "Ha, You think I would be that charitable and let you fight me again in god form?" Goku prepared his fighting stance. "This is bad, I couldn't raise my power anymore, if I fight for too long I'll drain more power and eventually collapse due to my injuries." Goku thought. He looked up to see Nyx was shaking a little, Goku assumed Nyx was hurt badly too. "I'll just have to end this quickly!" Goku thought. Their monstrous battle was about to resume.
With Luffy, Usopp, and Franky...
As they were running towards the docks trying to get to their ship, Luffy turned his head towards Ussop, "So, what's the plan again?" Luffy said as they all were still running. Ussop turned towards his captain with anger in his eyes "You forgot the plan again?! This is the 5th time I'm telling you the plan!" Ussop shouted as Luffy grinned. Franky sighed and ran between Luffy and Ussop. "Luffy all you do is fire cannons and blow ships up, I'm bringing my weapons onto the beach and helping everyone out there and Ussop is helping you destroy as many ships as possible" Franky said hoping this shortened explanation would help get through to his captain, he was getting annoyed hearing the plan over and over again.
"Okay that makes sense, you explained it way better than Ussop could"Luffy grinned. "Shut up! It's because you have a thick skull you don't get it!" Ussop shouted as Franky and Luffy smiled while they continued running towards the docks. Ussop turned his head forward, "Look there's the dock!" Ussop pointed as Franky and Luffy cheered, but their cheers were short lived.
As they made it to the docks they saw all the ships were packed together making it nearly impossible for them to find their ship. "Ah, you gotta be kidding me!" Luffy shouted into the air as he kicked a stone near the dock into the sea making it skip across the ocean. "We're going to have to look at each ship until we find ours," Franky said but Ussop had a worried look. "But that'll take hours! at this rate we'll never make it-" Ussop was cut off when he felt pressure being applied to the top of his head making him fall forwards. It was Luffy, he jumped into the air and landed one foot onto of Ussop as he stretched his arm onto one of the boat sail. "FORGET THAT!" Luffy shouted implying to Franky's idea before. Luffy launched into the air and flew up into the sky looking around his surroundings. He smiled and pointed down. "I found it!" Luffy shouted as he extended his arm forward and shot himself back down into the boat with a huge explosion of dust forming as he landed. "Luffy!" Usopp and Franky shouted as they ran towards the boat Luffy landed on. As they ran towards the boat they noticed it was theirs and Luffy was laying on the boat smiling.
"Idiot! You could have destroyed our ship!" Ussop shouted as he and Franky boarded the ship. Luffy grinned as he got up and ruffled his hair. "Sorry but I didn't want to look for one ship all day," Luffy said as he brushed the dust of his clothes. "Alright! Let's get to it!" Luffy pumped his fist into the air. Franky smiled and gave a thumb up and walked to the door leading to the inside corridors of the ship. Ussop nodded and ran to the top of the ship to move the ship out of the docks. Luffy stretched his arm forward and launched himself to the front of the ship and sat cross-legged on the figurehead of the Thousand sunny.
The ship managed to get through the docks and was sailing to the front of the beaches. As the ship approached the front of the island, an operative noticed them coming and pointed at them. "Sir! some of the Straw hats are closing in!" the operative shouted. The leader of the billions turned his head and saw the operative was right. He turned to his remaining army that was occupying the ships and shouted loudly. "Listen up! I don't want them anywhere near this ship! Bring them down immediately or help me so I'll destroy you all myself!" The commander spoke with the authority that shook all the operatives, immediately they rushed to their positions and aimed their cannons at the Thousand Sunny.
Luffy jumped to his feet and turned his head to Ussop "Get ready to drop Franky!" Luffy spoke, Usopp nodded as he moved the ship away from Baroque work's ships and closer to the island. "Fire away!" The commander shouted but his operatives shook their heads. "We can't! There's no clear shot! And we'll cause many casualties in our forces" one of the operatives spoke. The commander walked towards the operative and grabbed him by the throat and threw him overboard. "AHH!" The operative screamed as he plunged head first into the cold waters. The commander went to the edge, took out a hand pistol and shot a few rounds into the water. A shade of red emerged on the surface of the ocean along with a lifeless body with multiple holes seen in it.
The commander turned to his remaining operatives and placed his pistol back to his side before he spoke. "SO? anyone else has anything to say?!" The commander shouted as the operatives cowered in fear. The commander had an evil grin, "Good, now get back to it!" The commander said, immediately they rushed to the cannons and started firing at the Thousand Sunny.
Luffy looked up and saw the hundreds of cannons coming towards his ship. Ussop started screaming as he saw the cannonballs aimed at the ship. Luffy lowered his hat covering his eyes and dashed to the mast of the ship. He stretched his arms on both sides of the mast and walked back as far as he could. "Gomu Gomu no..." Luffy said. He released from the ground and launched into the air and in front of the cannonballs. Luffy extended his body outwards allowing him to take the cannonballs head on. As the cannonballs made contact with Luffy, he inhaled a large amount of air into his body. "Balloon!" Luffy shouted.
Suddenly his body expanded outwards as his belly had turned into the shape of a balloon, causing all the cannonballs to scatter all over the place, including some of the baroque work ships. Luffy released all the air from his body allowing him to glide back to his ship. Luffy started laughing gleefully, "That was awesome!" Luffy said as he got up. He saw a few ships sinking due to cracks on the side of the ships allowing water to flood in.
"Alright I bought us enough time, Ussop how close are we to the island?" Luffy said. Ussop smiled "We're here!" Ussop pointed forward. Ussop turned the ship to the side allowing Franky to come out with his weapons.
"Chanel 4 and 5! Black Rhino FR-U Unit 4 and Brachio Tank Unit 5 Launch!" Franky's voice was heard as two machines came out of the side of the ship and launched to the frontlines of the beach. But Franky wasn't done; he brought the two machines together in order to make his strongest creation, "Iron Pirate! Franky Shogun!" Franky shouted as the machines formed into a massive robot. He began to create havoc for the Baroque members as he showed no mercy towards them. Franky extended his arm outward, "General left!" Franky shouted. Immediately four gun barrels underneath the circular panel on the hand opened up like a hatch and bullets rained down as many baroque members that were visible.
Franky retracted the gun barrels into his hand and brought both of his arms together; he then filled his arms with air and fired a giant blast of compressed air towards the Baroque members. The damage was severe as a majority of the operatives were hit by the blast of air. Franky smiled "Alright! Can you withstand my power!?" Franky shouted as the robot's fist pounded its metal chest.
Usopp and Luffy smiled to what their friend said but it was short lived. Boom* Boom* Boom* they turned back and readied their cannons at the firing Baroque ships and launched their own assault. With Usopp's help, Luffy was able to get direct shots at the ships and sink them. "Keep hitting to the left Luffy, the wind will be able to guide it to the ships," Ussop said as Luffy nodded. As Luffy was firing more cannonballs, a person slammed into the ocean in front of the Thousand Sunny and the baroque members, they all stopped to look and saw another person flying towards them. It was Goku.
Huff* Huff* Huff*
Goku retracted his muscles and dove straight through the ocean caused a lot of waves to form tilting ships left and right. "Woah! Why did Goku turn back into Super Sayian?" Luffy questioned. "I don't know but we can't worry about him now we have to worry-" Before Ussop could finish; Nyx was launched from the water as did Goku. Blow for blow, Goku repeatedly punched Nyx in the face causing his face to swell on the side; next Goku did a one handed handstand and used his legs to kick Nyx with all the power he could muster into it.
Goku kicked Nyx in the cheek causing it to swell as well. As Goku went for a strong right, Nyx grabbed his arm and jumped allowing him to use his feet and stomp Goku's chest.
Goku felt ligaments tear but wasn't sure because of the adrenaline coursing through his body. Nyx launched forward and did powerful kick but to quick reflexes, Goku avoided the kick and did a kick of his own and struck at Nyx's raised leg. The amount of pain Nyx felt is indescribable, Nyx was getting weaker by the minute and Goku knew he was too; he had to end it now.
Goku rushed forward and slammed the heel of his foot into Nyx's abdomen causing Nyx to spiral out of control near the ocean. Goku followed but landed near the front of the beach. He cupped his hands together and readied himself. Goku turned his head towards Usopp and Luffy, he knew the blast wouldn't come close to them but he still wants to be sure. "Usopp, Luffy get away as fast as possible, now!" Goku shouted.
They nodded and jumped off the boat and ran to the sideline as the Baroque members stopped firing and aimed all their weapons at Goku. "Ka... Me... Ha... Me..." Goku said slowly, Nyx was slowly regaining focus and saw Goku but it was too late. "HAAAAAA!" Goku extended his arms forward and a blue energy beam exploded from Goku's hands and shot straight at Nyx and the remaining ships. "N... NO!" Nyx's last words, before he was engulfed by the blast and was eradicated along with the commander and the remaining ships. The blast was powerful enough it sliced through the ocean and shot straight out of the Earth's atmosphere.
Every soul on the island stopped and witnessed the scene that unfolded right in front of their eyes. Everyone couldn't believe it, Goku had beaten Nyx, the 1.5 million bounty and who was trained under the elite assassin Hit. Every Baroque member dropped their weapons, they knew they were defeated and there was no point in fighting anymore. They fell down to their knees showing they gave up. Everyone sighed in relief as they all knew; the war was finally over...
Goku grinned weakly "It's... about time..." Goku said before he fell backward onto the ground, "Goku!" Sanji, Zoro, Usopp, Luffy and Franky shouted. They all ran towards Goku to see he was still alive, "We finally did guys... We finally did it" Goku smiled as did the rest of the guys, they all gave a thumbs up and gave a hearty laugh, except Goku who laughed weakly since it pained him to laugh.
The rest of the contestants were cheering as well since they survived the assault from Baroque works, the guys brought Goku up to his feet and carried him under his shoulder. As they were doing this the Shichibukai's were watching Goku.
"We're going to have to report a new bounty for Goku, but for now let him enjoy this victory, he's earned it," One of the Shichibukai's said as the rest nodded. They all turned and walked towards the inner part of the island. Soon after, the contestants tied up the remaining Baroque members and placed them together until officials came to the scene. "Thank you all for protecting this island, the rest of our officials will take care of this situation and bring these men into custody, as of right now the battle royale has been postponed due to this horrific event. It will be scheduled in two hours so everyone please rest now before the battle will commence." The official bowed in respect as did the contestants and they all walked back to the inner part of the island as well.
Immediately Goku was rushed to Chopper who bandaged his injuries up and gave him a senzu bean to eat, Goku's muscles expanded rapidly causing the bandages to rip and then contracting back. Chopper sighed and rubbed his head, "Well that's what I get for giving him a senzu bean after wrapping his injuries..." Every Straw hat pirate in the room started laughing as did Goku. Goku got to his feet and stretched out for a second. "Man that feels great! I haven't had that much excitement after I've Beerus and Champa!" Goku grinned.
Zoro smiled, "Well we got two hours before the battle royale, anyone wants to do something?" Zoro said casually until Luffy jumped into the air "Food!" Everyone shrugged and went along with their captain to the dining hall where maids, waiters, and butlers were sweeping the floor of the remaining food that was lying on the ground. Nami, Robin, and Chopper gave each other a quick smile remembering the food fight they had started against the Baroque members.
One of the waiters took notice of the Straw hats and smiled. he walked towards them and bowed, "Welcome! Please take a seat anywhere, the food is just being prepared and will be done shortly" The Straw hats thanked the butler and took their seats and waited.
It was quiet except for the constant noise of sweeping throughout the hall, it was quite irritable, and thankfully Sanji broke the silence in the group. "So what now? After the Dragon tournament is over, where do we head next?" Sanji asked to which Nami replied "I'm not sure, I haven't been able to find anything yet near Dragon Island" Sanji frowned, took a cigarette and lit it, "I don't care where we go, as long as it's somewhere fun!" Luffy grinned when his stomach grumbled. "AH! When is the food coming?" Luffy said impatiently. "The food's almost done Luffy, the waiter said it's almost done," Robin said smiling.
A loud rumbling noise that sounded like thunder was going off in the distance; all the Straw hats turned their heads to see Goku holding one hand against his stomach and the other scratching the back of his head in slight embarrassment "Well let's hope it's not too long, because I'm famished!" The group tried to keep in their laughter but couldn't and burst out laughing along with Goku.
In a moment's time, the food was prepared and the group walked over getting their plates of food. But none except Luffy was prepared to see the amount Goku could eat if he was really hungry and I mean REALLY HUNGRY. As the straw hats were done eating their portion, Goku's pile of dishes was covering almost all the table and as time passed on, it increased even more. Goku was mowing down a bowl of rice and a plate full of dumplings and a bowl of soup as if it were just a snack for him. "Oh great... we got another monster eater in the crew..." Sanji said as they all watched in awe at the insane amount Goku ate in a minute.
After a half an hour Goku was stuffed and a bright smile dashed across his face. "Man I haven't eaten this much since I was at Amazon Lily." Goku patted his stomach as the crew just stood in awe. Chopper broke the silence, "Well, we got at least an hour and a half before the battle Royale starts, everyone participating should get prepared before it starts" Chopper to which they all nodded in approval. They all left the Dining hall and went to get ready for the tournament.
Goku walked to the front of the beaches, he looked and saw the battlefield that took place moment before, he sighed in relief that it was all over and now he could continue his goal in participating in the Dragon Tournament. Goku turned around to walk back when he felt an enormous amount of power coming closer to the island. He turned his head to see a cloaked person flying over the island. Goku noticed the cloaked man was staring right back at him when he dashed out of sight and into the inner part of the island. Goku cocked his head slightly in confusion "Where have I felt this power before? It feels... mixed" Goku thought. Goku shrugged when suddenly alarms were roaring throughout the island.
The loudspeaker turned on and everyone around the island went silent "Attention all participating in the men's division, the battle royale will commence in two minutes, will all competitors come to the stadium in preparation for the tournament. Thank you" The loudspeaker cut off and Goku smiled. "All right, let's get it going!" Goku said as he placed his two fingers to his head and I.T near the stadium.
Everyone was arriving at the stadium and the spectators shuffled into the stands once again but for some reason, Brook tagged along with the crowd. Nami was the first to notice him "Brook! Brook! over here!" Nami called out waving her hand in the air to get his attention. He finally noticed her and walked over to them "Hey! Finally found you all, the crowd was a hassle to get through" Brook said. Nami was confused "Brook aren't you suppose to be in the battle royale? You're a contestant" Nami said but Brook scratched the back of his hair. "Yeah... I forgot there was a no weapon policy Yo Ho Ho Ho" Brook laughed as he held out his cane with the hidden blade in it. Nami sighed and rubbed her head "Of course... Now we have only three people to rely on winning the prize money" Nami said as the rest of the crew sitting in the stands cracked a smile.
Finally, everyone arrived and the announcer got back on the loudspeaker "Welcome everybody! Don't worry were not going to do the introduction again as you've already heard it before" a slight chuckle was heard around the stadium. "Now all we want to do is give around of applause for our contestants for showing bravery and honor in protecting us from those men who called themselves Baroque Works, so please if you will," The announcer said as everyone from the stands stood up and gave the contestants a hearty round of applause.
The contestants took a bow and walked back to their fighting position. "Thank you all for showing sportsmanship, now an added detail, all our fighters are given a number to tell us how many people are eliminated from the tournament if they hit the water. With all that out of the way, good luck to you all and let the Battle royale officially begin!" The announcer said. Immediately he pulled out a pistol and shot it into the air, all contestants rushed forward and clashed with each other as the 10-minute countdown had begun.
"Gomu Gomu no... Gatling Gun!" Luffy shouted as he rapidly struck his fists out towards any opponents and pushed them back, "Your turn Sanji!" Luffy smiled, instantly Sanji rushed behind them and used his powerful kicks to launch them into the air "Goku!" Sanji shouted.
Goku stopped and noticed the fighters in the air "On it!" Goku realized what they meant and rushed into the air kicking the fighters one by one out if the stadium and into the waters, eliminating them from the tournament.
"Competitors 1-7, 15, 28 and 30-42 are eliminated!" The announcer spoke as the spectators cheered for the tag team Sanji, Luffy and Goku performed. Goku flew back down and proceeded to knock as many competitors as he could, with a single blow Goku could push a competitor off the stadium and into the water. Goku realized he was using too much power against them and wanted to have a fair fight. He lowered his power to bare minimum and continued to fight using every Martial arts and Capoeira move he had ever learned.
Goku moved forward and saw Doflamingo knocking out dozens of competitors into the water "Competitors 8-14, and 50-65 are eliminated! we're at the half mark and nearly half of the competitors have been defeated!" The announcer spoke.
Doflamingo turned around and the only person his eyes laid upon, out of all the competitors was Goku. The crowds were rallying, it been two years since that match began and Goku smiled it was happening again. Goku cracked his neck and prepared his stance but Doflamingo had other ideas he jumped into the air and extended his hand back. Goku knew what he was about to do. He looked around and saw many people were going to be hit so he flew into the air and rushed at Doflamingo. "Overheat!" Doflamingo shouted as he extended his hand at Goku and shot a vortex of flames right at him. To block the attack from the competitors Goku had to use his arms and take the blast head on. It had a direct hit as Goku blocked the flames with his arms, he gritted his teeth as it was burning like hell.
The flames were glowing brightly across the island as the heat intensified ripping at Goku's gi causing it to burn away. "Damn it!" Doflamingo said as it wasn't pushing Goku back, he put more power into the flames but it wasn't moving Goku back even a few inches "I'm... not... letting you win!"Goku shouted as he pushed the flame back and actually launch it straight at the shocked Doflamingo
The sky filled with smoke as both warriors were engulfed by the smoke. "Oh, my! please, everyone, cover from the ash coming down" The announcer spoke. Immediately the people in the stands covered their mouths to avoid choking from the ash pouring over the island. As the smoke receded Doflamingo was the only one spotted in the air as he was looking around. "Where did he go?" Doflamingo thought, He saw a shadow dash beside him "He must have gone behind me!" Doflamingo used his strength and turned around to strike but found no one there.
"Sorry, but if you're going to rely on eyes to battle me, then this battle is over" Goku's voice was heard in the distance. Doflamingo turned around and instantly regretted it as Goku launched an elbow into his gut. "Argh!" Doflamingo roared as he fell down to the stadium in pain. The other shichibukai's rushed towards Doflamingo as he got back off the ground slowly, they all watched Goku descend upon them. "I know you all are itching for a rematch, so... let me be the one to issue the challenge!" Goku spoke with the authority that made the shichibukai's have Goosebumps. "We're at the half mark, 5 minutes remaining!" The announcer spoke. Goku smiled and readied his stance. "Doflamingo, Teach Marshall, Gecko, Kuma... Let's give them a battle they'll never forget" Goku thought. Their battle was about to begin.
Back with Luffy, he slammed his arm into the ground as steam appeared from his body, turning it a shade of pink. "Second gear," Luffy said. He dashed through the middle of the stadium knocking a couple of contestants to the ground, as they got up they rushed and slammed into Luffy knocking into the ground. "Ergh!" Luffy was trying to get out but they were pushing to the edge while he was still on the ground. "Gomu Gomu no... Balloon!" Luffy shouted. Immediately His body expanded again and all the contestants were shot into the air. Luffy jumped to his feet and jumped on each competitor to get to the top of the sky. Once he reached the top he extended his fist back "Gomu Gomu no..." Luffy's arm turned a dark shade of red hardening for his upcoming attack. "Red Hawk!" Luffy shouted as he shot his fist into one of the competitors, causing a chain reaction of all the fighters slamming together and falling into the water.
"Competitors 87-100 are eliminated!" The announcer shouted as the crowds in the stands went berserk with cheers.
Luffy slammed back to the ground and scratched the back of his head and grinned "Aw shucks, that was nothing..." Luffy said before he went back to fighting. Sanji was following kicking every opponent he could see before he was sucker punched on his side. "Argh" Sanji yelled out as he hit the floor. He turned his head to see a cloaked figure hovering over him. Sanji tried to do a floor round house kick to the figure but he blocked the attack as if was nothing. "What the?" Sanji said in shock. He tried again for the neck and he hit the figure square on but the figure just stared back at Sanji. "Alright then! How about this!" Sanji shouted as he jumped into the air and slammed down multiple kicks at the figure. To his shock, the figure caught his leg, but the figure wasn't done. He took his leg and slammed him back and forth on the ground repeatedly. "Sanji!" Nami cried out in horror as she and her friends saw their friend being pummeled. The figure stopped and was dangling the bloody-faced Sanji. The figure simply walked over to the edge and was holding him by the leg and wasn't moving. The figure smiled inside as he released his grasp of Sanji and watched him slowly descend into the waters. "Competitor 67 is eliminated!" the announcer spoke. Luffy was in shock, he didn't see Sanji's battle as he was fighting someone else; he rushed to edge and saw it was true, Sanji had been eliminated. Sanji was barely conscious and was being dragged onto the surface from the other competitors as he took a beating from the cloaked man. Luffy was submerged with anger as he looked at the cloaked man. "You bastard!" Luffy shouted as he struck his fist at the cloaked man but hit only air instead as the figure disappeared from sight. The figure reappeared within the second but nowhere near Luffy. He looked at Luffy who was looking around and had an evil smile. "I can't eliminate you yet... after all... you're a part of my plans," The cloaked man said as he disappeared again and fought somewhere else in the stadium.
Back with Goku...
"STAY STILL!" Doflamingo shouted as he went for a strong right at Goku who back flipped away. Goku moved in different positions avoiding Doflamingo's attacks with ease, Goku looked to his left and saw Gecko closing in on him; he smiled "Nice try" Goku thought. Goku crouched to the floor and did a roundhouse kick while shifting his body using only one hand on the ground. He slammed his leg in Doflamingo and Gecko who were pushed back slamming into other competitors in the stadium. As Goku got up he felt someone behind him, he jumped into the air and performed a scissor kick grabbing the man by the neck. But as Goku looked closely, he noticed it was one of the Shichibukai's Kuma and Kuma was unfazed by the attack. He grabbed Goku by the waist and started choking him out with a bear hug. "Argh!" Goku gritted his teeth as he was trying to push his body away but Kuma was crushing his body, taking his breath away.
Kuma held Goku by the arms and held him forward as the rest of the shichibukai's ganged up on him, taking turns striking at Goku. Goku gritted his teeth and lowered his head, he then started to chuckle. "Seems A bit unfair don't you say?" Goku gave a small smile which surprised the Shichibukai's. "A pirate's life is always unfair, this is just another day for them" One of the shichibukai's retorted.
Goku frowned "Seems difficult, but I'll have to do it!" Goku said. Doflamingo gritted his teeth and raised his fist "Don't you know when to shut up!" Doflamingo shouted as he struck forward. Within the second Goku raised his knee to block the attack with took the Shichibukai's by shock by Goku's reflexes, Goku then slammed the heel of his training shoe into Kuma's lower leg taking the Shichibukai down onto one knee which made Kuma lessen his grip on Goku. "Oh no, you don't!" Teach shouted as he struck his fist at Goku who disappeared, causing Teach to accidentally hit Kuma sending him flying. Kuma landed with a thud and started rolling off the edge of the stadium."Ah! Kuma!" Teach shouted as Kuma was moving closer to the edge but it was too late, Kuma couldn't stop himself in time and fell off the stadium and descended into the water. "Competitor 27 has been eliminated!" The announcer spoke, Goku rushed forwards right in Marshall teach's face, taking him off guard. Goku did an uppercut right to his chin, causing Teach to be sent back flying off the stadium and also descend into the water. "Competitor 76 has been eliminated!" The announcer shouted as the stands jumped into the air crazily cheering on Goku's battle. If Goku wasn't paying attention to his battle, he would have heard "Let's go Goku" chant from the crowds as he was fighting and beating the Shichibukai's one by one.
Doflamingo and Gecko went on different sides of Goku ready to attack. Goku knew what was about to happen and was ready for them. Doflamingo and Gecko advanced forwards and struck at Goku but he was prepared, he dropped to the floor causing Gecko and Doflamingo to accidentally slam their fists at each other. "Ahh! Watch where you're going!" Gecko screamed at Doflamingo "Watch where I'm going?! You struck me first!" Doflamingo retorted back angrily. "And here I thought I was your opponent!" Goku's voice was heard below them. They looked down to see Goku using momentum to pick his body up and scissor kick Gecko, launching to the edge of the stadium. Luckily, Gecko caught the edge and was still considered safe as he didn't touch the water. He pushed upwards into the stadium and got back up but would instantly regret it.
Goku had elbowed gecko in the stomach, the pain was shooting around Gecko's body was something he never experienced before. Gecko just stood there motionless as the pain wouldn't allow him to move anymore. Goku turned his body towards Gecko and raised his index finger to his face. He tapped Gecko in the forehead causing him to fall backward and descend into the waters. "Un... Unbelievable!" Doflamingo thought in shock as he looked at Goku "It can't be possible but... It's as if Goku as gotten stronger than the last time I versed him!" Doflamingo gritted his teeth at the thought of it.
"Damn you..." Doflamingo whispered he rushed in the middle of the stadium. "GOKU!" He shouted getting everyone's attention. Goku turned his head and saw Doflamingo extend his hand back. Goku's eyes widened as he stretched out his hand. "Stop it Doflamingo! You're going to hit the spectators with that attack!" Goku shouted. Panic arose across the stands behind Goku as they feared they too would be hit by the blast, Doflamingo looked up and gave an evil grin, "Do I look like I would care?" Doflamingo said. This gave Goosebumps to the competitors except for Goku and Luffy, they all ran behind Doflamingo hoping to avoid the blast. Goku gritted his teeth and shouted to Luffy "Grab a hold to anything! I'm going to send him flying!" Goku then proceeded to shout at the crowds "Everyone, cover your heads NOW!" Goku shouted to which they all took cover under the stands.
Goku turned back and clenched his fist together "Haa!" Goku shouted as he raised his ki and cupped his hands together. "Ka... Me... Ha... Me... Ha..." Goku said as a ball of energy formed between Goku's hand. "THIS IS MY FULL POWER!" Doflamingo shouted he extended his hand forward "OVERHEAT" "HA!" Both fighters shot their attacks out and collided causing a huge explosion of air to ripple back as the competitors held their ground against Doflamingo and Goku's attack.
The blast was intense as both competitors wouldn't back down "Grr..." Doflamingo gritted as tried putting more power into his attack but wasn't pushing Goku back. "We have 30 more seconds before the tournament is over! who will win this battle?!" The announcer barely got out as the blasts were louder than the loudspeaker but Goku heard it. "I ain't losing to you!" Goku said as he sent more power into his attack pushing Doflamingo back a little. "15 seconds left!" the announcer shouted, Goku turned his head and smiled "You really improved Doflamingo, I won't lie, you really surprise me!" Goku said. "10... 9... 8..." The announcer started counting the final seconds, "But at the end of the day, It's going to be me who wins this!" Goku shouted as he pushed his blast to the point even Doflamingo couldn't hold it anymore.
"Ahh!" Doflamingo shouted as the blast exploded with a large rush of air that swept a majority of competitors off their feet and out of the stadium including Doflamingo. Luffy was holding including some lucky competitors but barely as the air current was pushing their body back hard. Dust swept across the stadium making it difficult to see anything "3... 2... 1... 0! The Battle royale is over!" the announcer shouted as he looked at the stadium but couldn't as the dust was covering the entire arena. The crowds were slowly getting up trying to see but were having a hard time as well. "That was some power!" Zoro said in disbelief. "Yeah but an awesome one Yo Ho Ho Ho" Brook laughed.
As the dust receded everyone noticed a majority of the competitors were eliminated due to the air pressure pushing them off and only a few were remaining including Luffy, the cloaked figure, and Goku. "Unbelievable! Goku managed to eliminate 21 competitors in the remaining seconds of the battle royale!" The announcer said causing the crowds to be in shock to what they heard. Nami sighed "Well it Goku... what do you expect..." The announcer came back on "Alright folks the battle royale is officially over and the competitors who I will read off right now will be facing in the tournament soon!"
The announcer said as the crowds cheered a little "Competitors 29, 43-45, 66-70, 74, 75, 77-80, and 82-85 will head off to the tournament and have a one v. one competition!" The announcer shouted as Goku grinned along with Luffy. Goku turned his head to where he last saw the cloaked man, but unsurprisingly he was there. "I know I've felt that power before, I guess I'll find out in the tournament" Goku smiled and cheered along with Luffy as they headed out of the stadium waiting for their next challenge: The Dragon Tournament.
End of Part Two! Hope you enjoyed it! ATTENTION: Once again I'm planning to re-edit old chapters; it's more easier than making new one's since I have the material already put on the screen instead of making a new one. If ANYONE has a chapter they want me to re edit I'll try my best to get it to a point where it's a satisfactory for a lot of you! Anyways I would appreciate it if you all tell me what I did wrong or right in this story, that would really make my day and help me understand what to try and do next to improve my story. I would like to thank all those who took the time to review me their honest opinions and stuck through to keep reading my story. Once again I would like to see a review on what you think of this chapter and how the story is doing so far. Thanks and Enjoy!
